Choking
Choking (pinching) the cymbals edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.
To make use of choking play techniques, youll need to
connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound
module that accommodates rim shots.

Troubleshooting
The sound does not change when an edge
shot is made
Is the cable connected to the BOW/EDGE output?
Make the connection to the BOW/EDGE output to enable
the CY-12R/C to support edge shots (p. 11).
Are you striking the cymbal in the area with the edge
sensors?
Edge sensors are embedded only in the part of the CY-
12R/C directly in front (p. 11).
The sound does not change when a bell shot
is made
Is the cable connected to the BOW/BELL output?
Make the connection to the BOW/BELL output to enable
the CY-12R/C to support bell shots (p. 11).
Use the shoulder of the stick when playing bell shots
(p. 11).
Adjust the Scan Time.
Choke play is not possible
Are you choking the cymbal in the area with the edge
sensors?
Edge sensors are embedded only in the part of the CY-
12R/C directly in front (p. 12).
Ride cymbal sounds odd
(Other cymbal sound is heard simultaneously)
Connect either the CY-12R/Cs Bow/Bell output or the
Bow/Edge output to the TD-8 (p. 11).
Double sounding
Are any cables touching the CY-12R/C?
Secure the cables in place with the cable ties so that they
do not touch the units. Also, be careful to make sure that
the cables are not pulled by the movement of a cymbal
when struck (p. 15).
Are the stopper, felt washer, and wing nut attached
correctly?
Double triggering may occur if the stopper and/or wing
nut is loose. Use a tuning key (drum key) to tighten
properly (p. 10).
* If double triggering still occurs, try adjusting trigger
parameters, such as Retrigger Cancel, on your TD-8.
